San Carlos School District Home

In the piece, we share what makes San Carlos schools so special—our dedicated educators, engaged families, and a community that truly believes in investing in kids. Our schools don’t just educate students; they nurture curiosity, belonging, and a love of learning that lasts a lifetime.

Thank you to our families, staff, and community partners who make this future possible every day.💙

Each month, our Spotlight on Excellence highlights a unique aspect of what makes San Carlos schools exceptional.

Tierra Linda Middle School Principal Charu Gulati, and Assistant Principal Ada Lee, present an update on teaching, learning, and special programs & were joined by students who provided a 'day in the life' glimpse into what it means to be a TL Timberwolf, and shared experiences of participating in the first annual Entrepreneurial Fair.

Join us as we delve into the incredible world of teaching and learning, exploring the exceptional programs and services that make our San Carlos schools truly stand out!

Our Community Liaison Site is designed to be a central place where families can find information, resources, and support to help their children thrive—academically, socially, and emotionally. On this site, you will find information about how we communicate with families, including parent communication protocols, upcoming events, and important dates. You’ll also find resources that support students’ social and emotional well-being, along with enrichment opportunities and programs offered through the District and our valued community partners.

San Carlos School District (SCSD) is proud of our long-standing tradition of excellence. For decades, our exceptional teachers, small neighborhood schools, strong community partnerships, and vibrant STEAM programs have prepared generations of San Carlos children for success in high school, college, and beyond. We serve nearly 3,000 students every day.

As inadequate state funding and the expiration of our current parcel tax create new challenges, the District is evaluating whether to ask the community to renew or increase this critical local funding to sustain the programs that make SCSD exceptional. Click on the title link to learn more.
